Running 2 amps together.....

[ImysE30]

I've already got one amp wired up to power the sub but i want to add in another amp to run my component speakers.

I've heard that i can power the 2nd amp from the 1st amp?

Can anyone shed any light on this?

TIA

[kingcruizer]

imy. get yourself a two way fues block to power both. one in two out jobby. remote from the other amp will be fine then just run rca's to it. hlh

I need 2 of those then?

Will it not affect the quality?

Thanks

[kingcruizer]

just one mate. the power lead from your battery goes in and two power leads come out. one to each amp. quality will be affected if you power off the other amp as your taking power away from the sub amp.

IMY, that's how mine is set up in the boot, do exactly as Kingcruiser(Btw, where you been ) said and it'll all work.
Any probs, you've got my number.

[ImysE30]

I get it now . The remote wire i can just connect it off the 1st amp then?

What about the RCA leads, i'm only connecting the rear speakers to the amp, where would i connect the RCA leads to?

Sorry for the dumb questions

[Rav335uk]

From your h/u assuming you have 2 sets comming out the back of the unit??

run another set of rca's from your head unit to run the components and yes the remote lead taken from your other amp will be fine.

Buy 2 off theses to split the phono cable for 2 amps.

[ImysE30]

Will check the headunit, i think there are 2 sets of connections

Thanks for all the info, much appreciated

Not bad Clive, i take it you're going to put up "Side" exit exhaust so all the puff goes to the pedestrians .
Any pics of the missus's cab then???

[kingcruizer]

if i could have side exits then it would be done. lol
as for the mrs cab.. no pics as yet, its in a sorry state at the mo but i should be putting some primer on it the next few weeks. pic will be up once thats done. ive got her polishing the wheels while im painting the centers. its funny listening to her moan about it but there not my wheels. i could use the buffer and do it in half the time but i want her to respect them once done. it a good learnig curve

[Rav335uk]

What wheels have you got for her then??
Good man, but me thinks there's a hidden agenda behind getting her a cab

Will one of the below wiring kits do:

The amps only 350W

Well if you like cheap and tacky imy, then go for it.I wouldn't waste my money on those.Get some proper kit from an audio shop.

[ImysE30]

I'm not too fussed tbh Rav, the 2nd amp will only be powering the rear speakers, i've got proper stuff fitted for powering the main thing, the massive sub

[Rav335uk]

then go for the first one in the link.

[ImysE30]

That's the one i've bought

Should be hopefully all set-up for the Midlands Meet

[Alex]

use the biggest power lead you can and split it to power both amps

[ImysE30]

The one i've already got fitted is very good, best one that Vibe do

I've had complaints from my neighbours a few times
